First of all, it is usually a well All that is needed to give impetus to the antique replica movement is proven design. Second, it is easily recognizable as a rare bit of aviation the availability of good usable drawings. Many of us have partial or even history, and only an expert can distinguish it from an original if the builder complete sets of drawings for one or more of these old aircraft. We have sticks religiously to the plans. Third, replicas come in all sizes, shapes them stored away in a closet or in the attic or basement.

Through these organizations information is available choice to restore as well as to those who would just feel a lot better knowing to help the prospective builder obtain plans and parts. We can expect these that they, themselves, had built their own vintage airplane and that it had groups to grow to a much larger size as more interest is generated. been constructed using all new materials. It's an interesting prospect for There are several certificated aircraft of years ago which are now or have the future, isn't it?

The "Solution" had been built in a record thirty days and was completed just one hour before the race. In the following year, Matty's newest racer, the "Super Solution" became the first aircraft to win the new Bendix Trophy, setting the trans-continental speed record of 11 hours, 15 minutes, under the very capable pilotage of Jimmy Doolittle. An Executive Transport biplane became the next challenge to be designed and fabricated at the Laird factory at Ashburn Field. Construction was mixed with an aluminum semi-monocoupe finely tapering fuse­ E. M. (Matty) LAI RO lage, fabric covered wood wings, and a steel tubing center section.

There are only two problem areas, neither of which is insurmountable, but nevertheless existent. Since ailerons are in the top wing only, the operating servo must either be mounted in the top wing center section for conventional connection, or in the bottom wing, which requires more complicated though scale-like linkage.
  • The Ninety Nines

    The Ninety Nines

    THE NINETY NINES THE NINETY NINES Captain Nancy Aldrich, aviation writer If you have been reading my blogs, I'm sure you have noticed several references to The Ninety Nines. This article will explain just who they are and what they do. In 1929, the first All Women's Air Derby was held during the National Air Races. It attracted 20* brave, adventurous young women, and covered 2,759 miles. The race began at Santa Monica, California, and ended in Cleveland, Ohio. To qualify as a racer, the women had to have a minimum of 100 flight hours, at least 25 of which had to have been on cross country flights. These were the same requirements for men competing in National Air Races. In the early days of aviation there were not many women pilots, but most of the women had met at previous events. They were a tight band and looked forward to this first real race for women. It was a chance to prove their skills to the general public. They took this event very seriously and were somewhat upset when the humorous commentator, Will Rogers dubbed it, "The Powder Puff Derby." On August 18, 1929, nineteen pilots took off, one more left the next day. Fifteen of the women arrived in Cleveland, 9 days later. Almost every pilot had some kind of problem during the race. Tragically, Marvel Crosson was killed when she crashed in Gila River Valley. Her crash was attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. When it was learned that she had been killed there was a public outcry to cancel the race.
  • The Reims Air Races

    The Reims Air Races

    Reims Air races and the Gordon Bennett Trophy Bleriot's cross-Channel flight excited Europe as nothing else had. The City of Reims and the French vintners of the Champagne region decided to sponsor a week of aviation exhibition and competition, putting up large purses in prize money, the most prestigious being the International Aviation Cup, known as the Gordon Bennett Trophy, after its sponsor, James Gordon Bennett, the flamboyant American publisher of the New York Herald and the Paris Herald. The meet attracted the cream of European society, from royalty and generals to ambassadors and the merely wealthy, to the Betheny Plain outside Reims from August 22 to 29, 1909. While there were to be many other such meets before and after World War 1, none would match Reims for grandeur and elegance or for sheer excitement. The major European manufacturers, all French, entered various events. There were 'planes by Bleriot, Voisin, Antoinette, and Farman, and even several French-built Wrights. The Wrights themselves had passed on an invitation to race at Reims, which was awkward since the Gordon Bennett Trophy was crowned with a large replica of a Wright Flyer. The Aero Club of America, which had sponsored the Scientific American trophy won by Curtiss a year earlier, turned to Curtiss. Curtiss' June Bug was not as well developed a plane as the Wright machines (and possibly the Wrights were hoping to drive this point home if Curtiss failed at Reims) and while it was more maneuverable than the European planes, it was not nearly as fast. 1909 Voisin 1 Curtiss worked feverishly to produce a more powerful engine and stripped down his airplane to give it greater speed.

    Lockheed Aircraft Since 1913

    i FOREWORD The post-WWI boom in the U n i t e d S t a t e s p r o d u c e d the Roaring Twenties, jazz, prohibition, and art deco design. Babe Ruth was regularly hitting home runs, and the movie industry was experimenting with talkies. And then Lindbergh’s sensational solo flight across the Atlantic sparked an explosion of a v i a t i o n d e v e l o p m e n t s . Lockheed’s Vega led the way. The Vega’s design and power encouraged people in the slambang days of the early ‘30s to seek the thrills and romance that lay beyond the horizon. Her feats and record-breaking accomplishments kept the Lockheed name ablaze in headlines, and the Vega earned respect and admiration from people in all walks of life. With a long, smooth fuselage and curvaceous strut-free wing, the Lockheed Vega burst onto the scene where box-kite biplanes and brutish tri-motors performed. A glamour-girl, she stole the spotlight and the Lockheed Vega became a name symbolic of the utmost in speed to airman and schoolboy alike. The name Lockheed flashed back and forth across the continent and over the top of the world. The slogan “Look for Lockheed for Leadership” rang true, but was soon replaced when ’'It takes a Lockheed to beat a Lockheed” became an accepted fact. ii CHAPTER∏ 1 A LONG CLIMB TO SUCCESS Soon after the Wright Brothers flight in 1903 a remarkable single mother, Flora Loughead, moved her two young sons, Allan and Malcolm, from San Francisco to a small fruit farm north of Oakland, California.

This assessment report was prepared at the request of the City and includes a discussion of the survey methodology utilized, a concise description of the feature (subject property); a summarized historical context of the Santa Monica Airport, compass rose, and related themes; evaluation for significance under the City of Santa Monica landmark criteria; photographs and other applicable supporting materials. OAC evaluated the subject property, the Santa Monica Airport Compass Rose, to determine whether it appears to satisfy one or more of the statutory landmark criteria pursuant to Chapter 9.56 (Landmarks and Historic Districts Ordinance) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code. The evaluation assessment and this report were prepared by Jan Ostashay, principal with OAC, who satisfies the U.S.
